Article

No. Firstly, it's much too short. These are totally arbitrary numbers, but the route description and history sections should be at least 500 words long. Also, we need to find some references for the article. If you claim Bill Clinton's dad died on US 60 in Missouri, you have to provide a reference from a reliable source. –Fredddie™ 07:11, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

I concur. U.S. Route 60#Missouri has more content, excluding the junction list table, than this draft. Since the parent article should be a summary of any sub article, the prose size comparison between the two is backwards. The Missouri section in the national article is not well written, so I suggest rewriting both, and making the draft's RD content much more detailed. The history section jumps from pre-1926 to some unknown date, presumably mid-20th century, and then jumps to 2010. We need just a bit more detail in there, and lastly citations for the big stuff in both sections. The RD can be easily cited by using the current official paper MoDOT map along with plotted driving directions on Google Maps in satellite mode, which will show landscapes and other details.

@Cwater1: The article is now live. I've been editing a lot of Missouri articles lately and this draft was in better shape than a lot of articles I've seen. That being said, what Imzadi1979 and I said still hold true. This article is far from "finished", but now it's more likely to have input from the community than when it was a draft. –Fredddie™ 12:58, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

4 lanes

US 60 became 4 lanes in 2010 from Republic to Sikeston. https://www.semissourian.com/story/1653279.html This source is a subscription only source Cwater1 (talk) 02:28, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
